A reminder
to students who are bringing their bicycles or other forms of active
transportation to school. Please walk your bike on school property in the
morning and after school. There is a lot of traffic during drop-off and pick up
times and we need to keep everyone safe.
We have MANY
guest teachers and EAs in the building today, thank you to everyone who picked
up a job today! Regular staff, check on your neighbours! Students, please treat
our guests with kindness and respect.
Wellness:
This week,
along with “Let’s Freeze Out the Hurt” we are also observing PRIDE week all
across the district. At QMS we show respect to gender diversity and all sexual
orientations. Pride week is all about spreading respect, acceptance and
promoting dignity for all. Any teachers who would like to hand out rainbow
sticker to their homeroom students, there are lots in the staffroom. Here is
your campaign thought for today: What is the kindest thing you did today? Probably
a wise thought for everyday.
As part of
Pride week, we are asking staff to please help promote self-acceptance to the
whole school by adding a photo to the Be Yourself bulletin board. Bring a photo
of yourself that makes you proud to be who you are, everything else you need is
on a cart in the staffroom. We can't wait to see all the fun photos of our
amazing staff being their wonderful selves! Once 10 submissions are received,
the photos will be posted.
